BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC
AGENTS
The car is equipped with the best available technological solutions to
effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which give the car resistance to
corrosion and abrasion
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to
corrosion;
❒spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more
exposed points: underdoor, inner wing, edges, etc;
❒use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of
moisture which could favour the formation of rust inside;
❒use of special films to protect against abrasion in exposed areas
(e.g. rear wing, doors, etc.).
